《Emilio Pucci SS2012 @ Haute Gypsies Girls》

Emilio Pucci SS2012 haute Gypsies boys and girls by creative director Peter Dundas takes the Pucci Girl into a darker latin atmosphere. Brigitte Bardot "les années gitanes" is celebrated in a collection for today bursting with rich colours, prints and texture for a smouldering hot summer. Full and generous skirts accent infanta-like ankle lenghts, bohemian scarf patchwork combine length with transparent asymmetries. Passion red, venom yellow and fragile nude are framed by stark white and burnt gold, the vibe is rich and effortless.

  

   

   

At night they are part of ensembles in breezy cotton voiles of appliqué motif or sequin embellished silk tulles. Fluid yet androgynous jackets in tropical wool tailoring play with delicate ultrafeminine lingerie in Pucci patterned dentelles, embroidered guêpiere and liquid charmeuse. The silhouettes are extreme in contrast but surprisingly complimentary. High waist trousers, scarf belted bermudas and skirts with micro brassiere tops and crop bomber jackets suggest new proportions. Pucci archive prints are protagonists: mixed, matched and presented in a myriad of colours. They are also patched over dyed and embellished transcending the idea of the print.

 

Reinvented in eyelet embroideries, organza appliquees, transparent devorées, the luxurious handicraft, of the Italian Maison, is for the haute bohemian. Embroideries of naive motifs, heart and cross trace patterns on transparent "resille" bases decorating the body like tattoos and giving a touch rock attitude to a romantic at heart.
